As we get older, we often notice that we may struggle with tasks that have previously been easy for us. Concerns come up about failing memory, confusion, independence and driving, and one’s ability to make important decisions regarding finances and estate planning. These are made less of a burden through careful consideration of the issues involved. We need to consider the competency of the individual, the needs of the family, and the safety of the loved one. We can perform focused assessments of early cognitive decline as well as other contributing factors such as geriatric depression and anxiety.

Pricing for all appointments in this process varies depending on the professional providing the services and the length of testing time required. The price for the initial 1 hour appointment is $300.00. At the end of that appointment, the psychologist will discuss with you the options for further evaluation, if needed. Should psychological testing be required, fees are charged on the basis of the length of time such testing will require, the time needed to score such testing, the time needed for the psychologist to interpret the findings and prepare a written report, and the time needed to provide feedback regarding the findings. These fees will be specified prior to any testing, and you will be asked to sign an agreement to the proposed services and fees before they begin. We will charge for each portion of the fees at the beginning of those services (e.g. the fee for testing and scoring will be charged prior to beginning testing, the fee for interpretation and report writing will be charged prior to those services, and the fee for the feedback session will be charged prior to feedback. In cases where testing will be required, fees can range from $700 to $3100. While we do not accept insurance, you may ask us for procedure codes to give to your insurance carrier, so you may ask them about potential reimbursement possibilities. Please email tngadmin@thenichollsgroup.com and ask us to send the procedure codes for an evaluation. Please note that we are able to accept ESA funds as long as you have the ESA card available; we can also provide documentation for reimbursement through ESA.Follow this link to be redirected to our New Patients page: Click Here
